PEPFAR's annual planning process is done either at the country (COP) or regional level (ROP).
PEPFAR's programs are implemented through implementing partners who apply for funding based on PEPFAR's published Requests for Applications.
Since 2010, PEPFAR COPs have grouped implementing partners according to an organizational type. We have retroactively applied these classifications to earlier years in the database as well.
Also called "Strategic Areas", these are general areas of HIV programming. Each program area has several corresponding budget codes.
Specific areas of HIV programming. Budget Codes are the lowest level of spending data available.
Expenditure Program Areas track general areas of PEPFAR expenditure.
Expenditure Sub-Program Areas track more specific PEPFAR expenditures.
Object classes provide highly specific ways that implementing partners are spending PEPFAR funds on programming.
Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more
Beneficiary Expenditure data identify how PEPFAR programming is targeted at reaching different populations.
Sub-Beneficiary Expenditure data highlight more specific populations targeted for HIV prevention and treatment interventions.
PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.

Summary: Malawi launched the Ambassadors Small Grants Fund for HIV/AIDS (ASGF) through USAID with FY 2006 PEPFAR funds in August of 2007. The initiative is now run from State with a mandate to obtain greater USG complimentarity with other DOS support. This initiative serves as an opportunity to engage small indigenous organizations the Malawi PEPFAR program may miss through its prime partners. The ASGF serves to address pressing interventions particularly for HIV/AIDS prevention and care and support to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC's). BACKGROUND: In FY 2006, ASGF funds were part of the USAID health team budget, obligated under the FY 2006 SOAG, but not implemented until FY 2007. In FY 2008, the HCT agreed that the burden on USAID was significant and the capability existed at State to move management of the program fully to the Department of State. The Public Affairs Officer is warranted to serve as the contracting officer for the small grants and agreed to sasume fiscal oversight of the program. The PEPFAR office at State monitors progress through written reports and spur of the moment site visits. The management of this program requires additional support through a program assistant to the PEPFAR Coordinator, a request USG Malawi filled in August, 2009. In FY 2011, a call for proposals was announced and over 500 applicants were received.
Activity 1: Call for Proposals: This activity is a TBD and will be reprogrammed into the relevant program areas once the grants are awarded. Proposals funded in FY 11 included four projects specifically targeting OVC's in areas ranging from school fees to, programs targeting school dropouts, to funds for chicken rearing to create income to pay school fees for vulnerable children.
Activity 1: Call for Proposals: This activity is a TBD and will be reprogrammed into the relevant program areas once the grants are awarded. Proposals funded in FY 11 included two projects that targeted the deaf community and provided them with money for sign language training for health care workers and written HIV/AIDS prevention materials. Small grant funds were also used to fund several other projects with prevention activities ranging from child defliement, to providing training and supplies for nurses.
